Description

Goodale's Bike $100 Gift Certificate


Goodale's bike shop was founded 101 years ago, when Walt M. Goodale opened his first location in Nashua, New Hampshire.


Walt's son Roscoe eventually took over the family business, and in 1966, he took a chance on a 12-year-old boy who was walking past the shop on his way home from school - offering him a job at Goodale's starting that Saturday.


Brad had worked at the shop for about five years when Roscoe decided to retire. A natural salesman, Brad convinced his parents to invest in the shop, and the 16-year-old got to work turning Goodale's into the well-renowned retailer it is today. Brad quit high school, took up a second full-time job to cover costs, and slowly transformed the small shop and nine bikes he started with into three thriving locations in Nashua, Hooksett, and Concord.


"I'm the second owner in 101 years, and I think the Burke family is gonna have it for the next 101", Brad says about Trek's acquisition of Goodale's.


Brad trusts that Trek's commitment to exceptional customer service will aid in upholding the pillars that led to Goodale's reputation as one of the biggest and best bike shops around.


Locations in: Nashua, Hookset and Concord
